Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 451

The setting sun disappears behind the sea level little by little, the flaming clouds are swallowed up by the boundless darkness little by little, flying fish, dolphins, seagulls...all of these have disappeared, and the sea temporarily takes back its incomparably beautiful garden, leaving it to everyone A black face.After watching the sea all day, the soldiers were a little tired. They stayed in the stuffy cabin and ate a seafood-based dinner, and then went to sleep—yes, it was seafood again. Most people saw Seafood makes me want to vomit.But Yang Menglong didn't care at all, he threw off his cheeks and ate wildly like a starved ghost reincarnated. His aura of sweeping all over the world at the table really opened the eyes of all the sailors.

Zhaji Chongweng's complexion was not very good. This strong man only ate a little, then waved his hand and said that he had no appetite and didn't want to eat.Shi Tianbao seemed to be concerned and asked: "You must be unconscious, right?"

Zhaji rolled his eyes at Weng, and said: "Stunned? I will faint? Are you kidding me, I..." Before he finished speaking, the seafood he ate sprayed out of his nostrils, with an irrefutable The facts proved to everyone: he was indeed unconscious.

Shi Tianbao grinned loudly: "You just can't do it, you fainted in a car, fainted in a boat..." Before he finished speaking, he also vomited all over the floor.

Yang Menglong showed a horrible expression, and sighed: "You guys, you have completely embarrassed my Heluo New Army! As a member of the Heluo New Army, you can't even bear this little storm, shame on you!" Shame on you! Later, I have to train you well, lest you die because of fainting before going to the battlefield! Boss Shen, what is the best way to deal with fainting?"

Shen Tingyang sipped the freshly brewed black tea slowly, and said, "Throw them into the sea and leave, come back after two hours, they will learn to swim, and they will never faint again."

Li Yan wondered: "What does swimming have anything to do with fainting?"

Shen Tingyang said: "Of course it is related. More than half of the reason for fainting is the fear of the sea. If they learn to swim, they will not drown in any sea area, will they still faint?"

Yang Menglong laughed straight: "Okay, I'll throw them into the sea and soak for two hours when I turn around, and see if they still faint!"

The red lady shouted: "You are disregarding human life!"

Yang Menglong said: "I disregard human lives? How can I disregard human lives? Taking a group of soldiers who can't swim across the sea to fight is called disregarding human lives!"

Xu Meng said proudly: "I can swim!" This guy has been promoted now, from Wang Tiehui's younger brother to the commander of the heavy infantry battalion, on the same level as Wang Tiehui, in charge of No. [-] on Denglai's side Hoplites, very imposing.Due to eating too much seafood, the muscles of this guy's body swelled up a little bit under absolutely impossible circumstances. As soon as we stood at the door, everyone felt that the air circulation was not smooth, and they felt like they were about to suffocate.

Yang Menglong was overjoyed, and punched Xu Meng's chest, saying: "Zaji, Shi Tianbao, did you see that? Learn more from him, and strive to get rid of the disgraceful hat of a landlubber as soon as possible!"

This is typical of standing and talking without pain in the back, Zaji Chongweng and Shi Tianbao smiled wryly.

After dinner, the red lady complained that it was very hot in the boat and she was covered in sweat. It would be great if she could take a bath.This request... of course cannot be met.Are you making an international joke, the most lacking thing in the sea is fresh water, it is not bad to be able to rinse your mouth, but you still want to take a bath?What warship has so much fresh water reserves that it can be used as a luxury to take a bath?It is not uncommon for those sailors not to take a bath for ten days and a half months. All of them are moving gas bombs, which can smoke a large area wherever they go.Every sailor looks forward to a rain, so that they can not only replenish some fresh water, but also take a good bath, if at sea there is a large group of guys with bare butts staying on the deck jumping and screaming , don't be surprised, people are taking a bath.What is more depressing is that the rain on the sea is as unreliable as Yang Menglong. Many sailors saw it was raining, and excitedly ran out with all their clothes naked, and wiped soap on their bodies. Just after wiping all the soap bubbles, the rain stopped like hell ... Next, a very serious question was put in front of them: what to do with this body of soap?
However, Hong Niangzi is a big beauty after all, and a big beauty can get some preferential treatment no matter where she is. In the end, Shen Tingyang still gave her a small half bucket of fresh water for her to take a bath... The stinginess of the boat boss made Hong Niangzi feel bad about life at sea. I have a deeper understanding of the hardships.

Taking advantage of the time when the red lady was taking a bath, Li Yan pulled Yang Menglong to the deck and said in a low voice, "General, it will take three days at the latest for the main force of Denglai's new army to reach Lushun with a full force, and Jiannu is afraid that he has long been concerned about Lushun." The onslaught is about to start, how do we fight this battle?"

Yang Menglong said carelessly: "How to fight? When one arrives, one will be thrown into the battlefield. Unless Jiannu can take Lushun before I arrive at Lushun, otherwise they want to win, it is a dream!"

Li Yan frowned and said, "Isn't that a refueling tactic? General, the refueling tactic is a taboo among military strategists!"

Yang Menglong said: "Mr. Li, I don't pay much attention to fighting. If I have 600 people, I will fight with 600 people. If I have 6000 people, I will fight with 6000 people..."

Li Yan frowned even tighter: "How can 600 people fight against 4 people!?"

Yang Menglong said: "I'm dead! Six hundred invulnerable hoplites form a phalanx and push forward like a wall. I don't believe anyone can move!"

Li Yan was dizzy: "How to fight the 6000 people?"

Yang Menglong said: "Hey! The cavalry is on the two wings, the archers are in the front, and the pikemen are behind. Ten thousand crossbows are firing, and the spears are piercing. If they can't stand it anymore, let the heavy infantry go to block the gap. Polish them off!"

Li Yan asked: "How should the 6 people be beaten?" Before Yang Menglong could open his mouth, he gave the answer himself: "Death?"

Yang Menglong had a gratified expression of "children can be taught": "Yes, I still die! But if I have 6 people, I don't think I need to die. I'll pee before I start beating Jiannu."

After all, he would die with this trick. Li Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and secretly sighed that the new army of Heluo was really miserable, with such an unreliable boss!

Yang Menglong is still instilling into Li Yan his death-knocking theory... In his opinion, it is wrong for Chinese military strategists to focus more on strategy than to be brave. They always think about taking the edge of the sword to defeat the opponent, and in the end they will only be punched by the opponent Teach him how to behave.But if there is an army that can fight tough battles and is not afraid of any opponent, it will be different. Even if it is commanded by a mediocre future, as long as that guy's level is not too bad, he won't suffer too much.Therefore, you don’t need to play so many tricks in war. When you meet the enemy, you just need to fight to the death. The most popular sentence is "can only be outsmarted, not invincible".
However, this style of play is really in line with the [-] personality of this bastard who only cares about the results and ignores the consequences...

While chatting, a distant light floated over, it was a sea ship.Probably because they noticed the lights from the fleet, the ship fired a signal flare, and a little fireworks rose several hundred meters high, exploding into a blooming red chrysanthemum, and then fell from mid-air like a rain of fire. pole.Shen Tingyang looked at it and said: "It's a ship of the imperial navy, fire the salute!"

The gunner lifted the shells of several cannons, filled them with gunpowder and ignited them, "Boom, boom, boom!" A burst of rumbling guns shattered the tranquility of the sea, which could be heard from ten miles away.The ship sailed over immediately, and a general of the Ming army stood on the bow and shouted at this side from a long distance: "I am the envoy of Huanglong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and I am going to Denglai to ask for help. You are the imperial court navy!" ?"

Yang Menglong roared like a lion: "I am Yang Menglong, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, who brought people to support Lushun!"

The military envoy was overjoyed and saluted Yang Menglong again and again.But when he saw that there were only three or four sea-going ships, he was disappointed again. He looked into the distance again and again and saw no movement in the distance. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "Is there only a few people like you? What's the use of a few people like you? Tens of thousands of people came, fifty or sixty cannons alone!"

Yang Menglong said: "We have 6000 people here, but the main force has not yet boarded the ship. It will take a day or two before we can set off. I really can't wait, so I will bring an elite team first."

The military envoy was very moved when he heard this.During this period of time, he has traveled to many places, Dongjiang Islands, Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan, Tianjin, all of them. Those general soldiers either paid lip service to them, or simply closed their doors to thank them. They never saw each other. They are as enthusiastic as Yang Menglong Yes, this is really the first general soldier who set off as soon as he received the order without saying a word.He said loudly: "Master Yang, I want you so much, even if you only send out these few hundred people, our 10,000+ soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town will be grateful!"

Yang Menglong said: "Stop talking nonsense, don't go to Denglai. My main force will definitely set sail and reach Lushun within two days. Now I trouble you to go ahead and lead us. We don't care about this sea area." very familiar!"

The military envoy was quite straightforward, and immediately ordered to turn the bow of the ship and sail towards Lushun, acting as a pilot.Four sea ships full of soldiers lined up and followed closely behind, riding the wind like a huge arrow, piercing the sea and heading straight for Lushun.

In the early hours of the morning, a round of bright moon gradually rises into the sky and sprinkles the cleansed moonlight on the sea surface.In the far distance, a little fire lighted up, pointing out the direction for the fleet. Shen Tingyang commanded the sailors to lower the sailboat two blocks, and the sailboat slowed down. Now it was close to Lushun Port, and it would be dangerous to sail at a high speed.After such a toss, the soldiers all woke up, packed their luggage silently, and prepared to land.Facts have proved that they woke up a little earlier. There is an old saying that "looking at the mountain and running to the dead horse" is also applicable to the sea. Although they can already see the other shore and the lights, they are still far from the port. Yawn hasn't even entered port yet.

So continue to sleep...

After tossing for an entire hour, the sky was bright, and the loud shouts of the pilots came from the deck. The soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes and walked out of the cabin. It seems to extend from the sea to the land.A little farther away, the towering city wall stands on the ground like a screen, blocking their sight. On the Golden Mountain, a sun and moon flag is flying in the morning light. Lushun, we have arrived.

The officers shouted sharply: "Come out, come out, don't sleep, it's time to go ashore!" They kicked and dragged the soldiers onto the deck.The helmsman concentrated on steering the rudder, approached the trestle and then dropped anchor, and the journey finally reached the end.The hoplite carried a heavy bag, picked up the huge ax that seemed exaggerated no matter how you looked at it, yawned, and was ready to go.Yang Menglong shouted: "Wait a minute, I'll come first! As a general, I must be the first to step on the battlefield!" Pulling back Xu Meng, who had already stepped on the trestle with one foot, jumped onto the trestle, walked like flying on it, spread his arms wide Arm shouted loudly: "Huang Taiji, I'm here again, you are ready to be beaten——"

"Crack!"

A shocking loud sound interrupted the boy's ghostly crying and wolf howling. Under the eyes of everyone, in front of thousands of troops, a piece of wood on the trestle bridge was broken, and the clamor of Erhuo Yang, who was running on the trestle bridge with his eyes closed, suddenly stopped. Suddenly, the whole person fell off the trestle bridge with a bang like a stone, and fell into the sea, splashing Lao Gao's water!
The Dongjiang army on the shore and the sailors on board were all dumbfounded.

The red lady shook her head, "Ask for trouble!"

Shen Tingyang shouted: "Hurry up and save people!"

Xu Meng smiled and said, "No need, our general can swim!"

So Shen Tingyang calmed down and watched Yang Menglong's performance with everyone smiling...

Yang Menglong's performance was really wonderful. I saw him desperately swinging his arms and kicking his legs, making splashes of water. His posture was neither like dog planing nor breaststroke, so funny that it made people laugh.Everyone laughed and couldn't help but the more they watched, the more they felt something was wrong, because Yang Menglong hadn't swam far after thumping for so long...

Shen Tingyang changed his face and asked Xu Meng: "Are you sure you adults can swim?"

Xu Meng couldn't calm down anymore, scratched his head and said, "I don't know...he is so sure, he should know how to swim, right?"

Shen Tingyang almost vomited blood: "What does it mean to be able to swim? If you don't know, what are you talking about! Do you know that people will die! Save people!"

The two sailors jumped high, plunged into the water lightly, and swam towards Yang Menglong.But at this time, Yang Menglong sank like a stone, and a string of bubbles appeared on the sea surface...

The terrified roars of the hoplites and the noise and screams of the Ming troops on the shore almost overwhelmed the sound of the waves.

What a lively morning!
